Steffi Laier: I had a crash last week in Germany and hurt my hand. I went to the doctor’s, and got some antibiotics, and it was better, but today the problem and pain came back, so it hurt and definitely had a lot of arm pump. It’s hard to race 100% with arm pump.

Ashley Fiolek: The track was pretty gnarly, but I learned a lot. And I had a lot of fun. I’ve raced with Steffi before in Europe, and I’m happy she got to come here today to race. There seems to be a lot more girls racing. Our sport is growing.

Jessica Patterson: The track was gnarly, but that’s what we train for. I feel like I’m in better shape this year. I have a lot of confidence right now, and after last year I feel pretty good. And I’m in better condition this year. I’m super pumped so many riders have come out. I’m glad Steffi came over to keep pushing us. First moto had the holeshot. Led from there. Stayed smooth and consistent. Second moto I got the holeshot again, but I lost my front wheel and ended up crashing. Got back up, chased down Ashley and Steffi, pushed hard, put in consistent laps, and it paid off.
